It’s National Dance Day: Best Car Choreography and Great Playlists for Dancing in the Car

Today is National Dance Day, and we’re celebrating with some creative car choreography and super catchy playlists.  Whether you’re bopping along in your car during rush hour, shakin’ your tail feathers on the dance floor, or having a me-party at home in your PJs on a friday night, we know a good beat is impossible to resist. Waltz into the weekend with these iconic video clips and song suggestions.

We Love to See it: Choreographing with Cars

What do classic cars, an empty parking lot, and The Weeknd have in common?  It all adds up to this infamous performance at the 2021 Billboard awards.  We’ve never seen anything like it, and it’s truly a sight to behold!

“La La Land” starts off with a bang in this now classic piece of cinematic genius.  We love it because it’s clever, interesting, and certainly the ideal response for drivers to have in a traffic jam (sadly, this is not reality so we’ll have to just keep daydreaming when in bumper-to-bumper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CVfTd-_qbc 

Amymarie Gaertner puts a little pep in your step using creative choreography and a one-of-a-kind display of miniature cars synced to the beat of the music.  We promise you’ve never seen anything like it before:

“Fame” is an iconic 80s flick with an unbeatable soundtrack to boot.  In this memorable scene, a taxi driver inspires anyone within earshot to get up and dance in the streets. We love to see it!

“Baby Driver” is at the top of the list when it comes to expert use of music along with dance and car related choreography. Every step, handshake, gear shift, and turn is synced with expert precision to the most phenomenal soundtrack a heist movie has ever had! 

The Step Up series might not have great plots, but they certainly have impressive choreo.  This scene in “Step Up Revolution” has a jaw dropping mix of car choreography mixed with slick breakdancing and hip-hop dance. And of course, it’s also really high energy and super colorful.
